Planitar Inc. and FBS Partner to Streamline MLS Listings, Automatically Loading Property Data from iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tours and Floor Plans Integration will enable agents to automatically populate listings on Flexmls Platform with rich media and detailed property information from iGUIDE, enhancing the accuracy and quality of MLS data. WATERLOO, Ontario, & FARGO, N.D.--Tuesday, July 23, 2024 (BUSINESS WIRE)--Planitar Inc., makers of iGUIDE, a proprietary camera and software platform for capturing and delivering 3D virtual tours and property data, and FBS, the leading innovator of Multiple Listing Service (MLS) technology and creator of the Flexmls Platform, today announced a strategic partnership and platform integration. The Flexmls Platform empowers real estate professionals from 150+ MLSs with comprehensive access to property listings, market data, and business management tools, providing flexibility and autonomy in managing their operations. This integration will connect iGUIDE’s technology to the Flexmls Platform enabling Flexmls users to seamlessly upload iGUIDE property data, including room dimensions (length and width) and labels, directly into the Flexmls platform with a single click. Previously, users manually transferred this data, making for a significantly more time consuming and error prone process. In addition to room dimensions and labels, agents will soon be able to upload rich property data including branded and unbranded iGUIDE virtual tours, precise floor plans, photos, and videos, enhancing their productivity and simplifying the listing entry workflow. iGUIDE is renowned for its precise schematic floor plans, meeting rigorous standards such as ANSI Z765-2021 and RECA RMS with an uncertainty of 1% or less in property square footage, well within the industry's 2% maximum allowable error. At the heart of iGUIDE's accuracy lies the quick-capture PLANIX Camera System, which employs a time-of-flight 2D lidar system to capture thousands of measurements with each scan. Accurate property dimensions, floor plans, and 3D virtual tours benefit not only the listing agent and seller but also potential buyers, enabling them to understand property layout and make informed decisions remotely. This streamlines the buying process and enhances overall market transparency. “FBS is the first MLS software vendor to implement the RESO Common Format (RCF) standard for auto-populating property data into the listing form. Planitar has collaborated with RESO for several years and contributed to the development of this standard, which automates the entry of various data types already available in machine-readable format. iGUIDE data is RESO-certified as RCF standard compliant and ready for integration with any MLS software that supports it,” explains Alexander Likholyot, CEO and co-founder of Planitar Inc. “This listing form autofill not only saves agents time and effort, but also greatly improves the quality of MLS data by eliminating manual transcription errors for property measurements. In addition to text and measurement data, the RCF standard supports auto-populating listing media, eliminating the need for agents to manually download and upload their images or video. This process occurs seamlessly behind the scenes, enabling agents to simply review their listing.” FBS has a long and proven track record of purposeful technology innovation and partnerships, including this partnership with iGUIDE, that simplify the user experience, ensuring the MLS remains the premier source of data and enriches the consumer experience. Michael Wurzer, FBS President and CEO: “We’re continually looking to enhance the MLS customer experience for the 330,000+ real estate professionals across the US that we represent at FBS, and this partnership does that. iGUIDE’s expertise in floor plan analysis, measurement, and immersive 3D virtual tours enriches Flexmls, setting new standards for the listing process and property data sharing. This integration offers...

Matterport and FBS Partner to Introduce Listing-Completion Feature, Automatically Populating Property Data and Media Assets from Digital Twins, Leapfrogging Current Listing Process Matterport Property Intelligence and FBS technology unlock new Flexmls Platform functionality saving time and minimizing errors for Flexmls users while enhancing home search experience for buyers. SUNNYVALE, California, Thursday, June 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR), announced its partnership with FBS, the leading innovator of Multiple Listing Service (MLS) technology and owner of the Flexmls platform. FBS represents more than 320,000+ real estate professionals across the US and offers a comprehensive real estate technology platform that includes the Flexmls® system. Flexmls is a powerful MLS platform designed to provide real estate professionals with access to property listings, market data, and tools for managing their business. A fully mobile MLS system, the Flexmls Platform gives real estate professionals the autonomy to run their business on their terms. This partnership enables Flexmls users to easily upload their Matterport digital twins, and autofill dimensional data from those twins directly into the Flexmls platform with just one click. Flexmls users will also gain efficiency through the seamless upload of Matterport media, including photos, floor plans, and videos. Flexmls users are now able to auto-fill dimensional data directly from their Matterport digital twins, including room name, length, and width, and automatically populate that data in the Flexmls interface. Matterport’s AI-powered Property Intelligence automatically extracts measurements, dimensions, and room names from Matterport digital twins, providing prospective home buyers with accurate dimensional property data. This eliminates manual data entry for agents and back office staff, saving time and minimizing errors and omissions. The integration and launch of these features underscore a mutual commitment to innovate, add value to and improve the agent + buying experience, democratize access to data, and set new standards for the listing process. "This integration with Matterport furthers FBS's mission to help our MLS customers aggregate the highest quality data and media for the benefit of their members and consumers. Our customers have been manually adding Matterport digital twins to Flexmls for years and, on the surface, this integration simply makes what they're already doing easier. FBS is always excited to make our customers' work easier but this integration goes far beyond that by increasing data quality with room and dimension data and automatically adding photos, floor plans, video, and photos in one process without our customers having to do any extra work. Equally important, this integration provides the license terms needed to include this rich content in our customers' MLS compilations, enabling them to remain the premier source of real estate data and media in their markets - meaningful innovation that benefits real estate practitioners and consumers," said Michael Wurzer, FBS President and CEO. Dimensional data enhances the overall listing, benefitting both the listing agent and potential buyers who gain a deeper understanding of the property's layout and size. This information supports informed decision-making while helping them envision living in the space, factors that can simplify and expedite the buying process. “Since day one, our mission has been to fundamentally transform how people understand and access the built world. Our 3D digital twin technology set the industry standard for the virtual tour, and now we’re automatically delivering precise property information to Flexmls customers for any type of property anywhere in the world,” said RJ Pittman, Chairman and CEO, Matterport. “Across the globe, Matterport serves nearly one billion virtual tours each year significantly enhancing the experience of exploring potential...

Six Reasons Why Matterport Will Launch Project Genesis Monday (3 June 2024) Commentary and analysis by Dan Smigrod Founder and Managing Editor We Get Around Network Forum and WGAN-TV Podcast Hi All, Matterport will likely announce on Monday, 3 June 2024 that Project Genesis is now commercially available to all. If that's true, what I wrote about a year ago (and reprinted below for your convenience), becomes relevant and timely: ✓ Matterport Genesis Generative AI Magic: Will it Make Competitors Irrelevant? "Project Genesis" was first announced 14 June 2023 that it was in development, would include these super-powerful features: ✓ decluttering of Matterport digital twins (residential and commercial spaces) ✓ remove objects ✓ virtual staging of Matterport spaces using AI (easy prompts) (resident and commercial spaces) ✓ space planning of commercial spaces "How many people can fit in an open floor plan design?" (Project Genesis likely contributed to CoStar's plans to acquire Matterport by the end of 2024). Matterport CEO RJ Pittman in this video released on 14 February 2024 said: And when it comes to remodeling, we are especially excited to talk about the future. Matterport has become synonymous with digitizing and documenting physical spaces exactly as they exist today. But later in 2024, Matterport will enable you to reimagine what any space could become. We call it Project Genesis, and it incorporates Matterport's decade of machine learning and AI experience with breakthrough generative AI to bring new design and furnishing ideas to life at the click of a button. First, just imagine being able to instantly defurnish an existing space to see it as a blank canvas with all the dimensions and spatial data in place, a photorealistic 3D as-built digital twin. Or maybe you'd like to be more selective and remove unwanted objects individually, perhaps to clear out the clutter. Ultimately, spatial visualization is Matterport's greatest strength, which is why we're so focused on creating breakthrough tools to let you visualize your space with different interior design styles and furnishings automatically in true 3D. With our 2024 Winter Release, we're thrilled to unveil the next generation of digital twins, packed with fresh insights, automations, integrations and plugins, with more on the way in our next release coming in the second half of the year [2024]. Here are the six (6) "tea leaves" that I am reading to make this prediction: 1. Shopping Cart: Matterport is updating its shopping cart now (noon- 3 pm ET) today (Sunday, 2 June 2024). Many major announcements by Matterport have been preceded by "Scheduled Maintenance) 2. Quarterly Release Cycle: Matterport signaled that it wanted to be on a quarterly release cycle, when it announced its Winter 2024 Release on 15 February 2024. Four months from then will be June 15, 2024: just 12 days from today. (Matterport in this 15 February 2024 video says "first in a series" ... "New features coming to market" ... "more in our next release coming in the second half of 2024." 3. No Matterport News Since 15 May 2024: Matterport tends to issue a media release weekly (whether it truly has news or rehashes in a media release something that was previously announced (in YouTube videos, blog post, case study, etc.) Almost every time that Matterport has announced something big, there have been no other media releases in the previous two weeks. I could imagine that Matterport has its marketing communications team focused on the news announcement for at least two weeks leading up to major announcements. 4. Matterport Blog Post Cadence Slowed: In recent weeks, Matterport blog posts have almost been weekly. The last Matterport Blog post featuring news was on 24 May 2024. Almost every time that Matterport has announced something big, there was no Matterport blog post in the preceding week. Again, I could imagine that Matterport has its marketing communications team focused on creating a blog post for the big...

Matterport Unveils Reporting Tool to Showcase Carbon Reduction Achieved Using Digital Twins SUNNYVALE, California, Wednesday, May 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR), announced the launch of avoided emissions reporting for select enterprise customers, measuring the emissions savings associated with the use of Matterport’s digital twin platform. Developed with independent carbon accounting experts, the reports enable enterprise customers to understand the impact of emissions avoided by collaborating remotely instead of traveling to inspect facilities onsite. There has been a growing expectation from corporations to operate climate-consciously. Organizations of all sizes are making ambitious commitments to reduce their carbon footprint (GHG emissions) by pledging alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and setting science-based targets to limit global temperature rise to below 1.5 degrees Celsius. Matterport’s 3D digital twins are sustainability in action, providing tools to help businesses to reduce Scope 3 emissions for tasks that traditionally require travel to complete, such as tours, inspections, progress monitoring, change management, and more. The more 3D digital twins are incorporated into day-to-day operations, the greater impact they can drive towards an organization’s sustainability goals. For businesses with significant property portfolios and those that are globally dispersed, this life-like virtual collaboration also offers the ability to significantly reduce costs, while freeing up team members to work more productively remotely. “Enterprises increasingly need proof-of-value that their technology investments are both driving impact to the bottom line, and their overall carbon footprint,” said Qadira Harris, Senior Director of Global Responsibility at Matterport. “These new reporting capabilities quantify the sustainable impact of digital twins, empowering enterprises to streamline their property decisions with results they can stand behind.” A Fortune 100 Matterport customer said, “As a product owner, I want to provide users with sustainability benefits of my digital twin solutions. The avoided emissions report is informative with a concise format that contextualizes our aggregated impact.” Emissions avoided are calculated based on the reduction in business travel enabled by digital twins, taking into account factors such as the number of digital spaces created, geographic location, and site visits. Customer reports are tailored to their primary use cases—like property marketing, insurance, design and construction, or facilities management. These considerations are then balanced against the estimated emissions from creating and hosting each digital twin to determine the total emissions avoided. Matterport avoided emissions reports, currently available to select enterprise customers, to allow for a comprehensive assessment of sustainability gains. These reports will be broadly released later this year, with customer feedback informing further enhancements and scalability.

New iGUIDE Lead Magnet Generates Real-Time Leads for Real Estate Professionals The exclusive product feature lets buyers viewing iGUIDE’s 3D Virtual Tours request additional property details providing agents with instant leads. WATERLOO, Ontario, Tusday, April 30, 2024 – Planitar Inc., makers of iGUIDE, a proprietary camera and software platform for capturing and delivering 3D virtual tours and property data, today introduced iGUIDE Lead Magnet—an exclusive product feature designed to help real estate agents capture leads and get market feedback in real-time as prospective buyers view iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour property listings. iGUIDE Lead Magnet is an interactive pop-up element that appears in the iGUIDE Viewer as potential buyers explore real estate listings. The feature allows buyers to request more details by providing their contact information in exchange for receiving access to additional visuals via an email or SMS from the listing agent. The agent now can engage with the qualified lead as they choose. "This new product feature is about forging relationships in real estate,” said Alexander Likholyot, the CEO and co-founder of Planitar Inc. “Even after Covid-19, industrywide adoption of 3D tours in real estate has barely crossed into double digits, as listing agents haven’t been able to capture feedback about a property or start a conversation with potential buyers within a 3D tour. The new iGUIDE Lead Magnet solves both problems by letting buyers share their contact information to get access to additional property visuals delivered in the detailed version of iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour while encouraging buyers to ask questions and provide feedback about the listing. This exchange gives agents a way to contact and engage with qualified, interested buyers and connect with potential future listing prospects.” In addition to generating real-time leads 24/7, iGUIDE Lead Magnet empowers buyers to provide valuable feedback directly on the virtual listings, offering agents insights they can share with sellers. Real estate professionals have the flexibility to streamline their communication process by automatically responding to leads via email or SMS, saving time while still delivering personalized responses tailored to each potential buyer's inquiries. Here’s how it works: 1. A pop-up form appears in the iGUIDE Viewer after a prospective buyer explores the listing. 2. A prospective buyer can elect to provide their contact information for access to additional property visuals delivered via the detailed iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour. 3. The listing agent receives an alert, either by text or email, with the prospective buyer’s contact information. If configured, an automatic email is sent at the same time to the prospective buyer with the detailed iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour link. 4. The agent can choose to send an automatic or custom response, providing the buyer with the detailed iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour and engaging them into a conversation or arranging for a Virtual Showing if a curated agent-guided iGUIDE experience is desired. Key features and benefits of iGUIDE Lead Magnet include: 1. Buyer lead data is sent in real-time via email notification or SMS. 2. Prospective buyers are encouraged to provide valuable feedback that the listing agent can share with the sellers. 3. Minimal effort is required by an agent to set up and maintain while retaining control over listing visuals, as well as client communications. 4. iGUIDE Lead Magnet takes advantage of the unique way iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tours can hide and show visuals and/or rooms creating two unique iGUIDE versions. 5. There is no additional cost above the iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour. The exclusive, new product feature is available on all iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tours (Instant, Standard & Premium). 6.
